I am using Acobat Reader 9. I can only highlight the text or make a comment using a bubble, but I can't use the functions to insert text or delete text.

    Why such an old version? With the newest version (Adobe Acrobat Reader DC) there is a tool to add text under the fill and sign menu. Or you can find one under Comment>Annotations>Text. You can't edit existing text with it but you can add text over the top of anything else in the document.

    In any case, you should really upgrade your version of Reader.

    Reader can't edit a PDF file in such a way. You can only add comments to it.
